A member of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s platoon in Afghanistan said Sunday the former Taliban prisoner deserted his post before being captured and fired back against Obama administration arguments that only Bergdahl knows exactly what happened.
“After Bowe Bergdahl purposely and willfully walked away, every single mission was titled toward finding him,” platoon medic Joshua Cornelison told “Fox News Sunday.” “We were there. This isn’t some second- or third-hand account.”

“Cornelison also spoke on the same day Fox News confirmed with Defense Department officials specifics about Bergdahl’s recovery at a U.S. military base in Landstuhl, Germany, including that he attempted to escape at least once — possibly twice — and that he was put in a metal cage or small room for periods of time that included solitary confinement.
The escape and confinement was reported earlier this week by Fox News, based on secret documents prepared for the Defense Department by a private firm.”
Why have we not heard from one single person in his unit that supports Bergdahl?
You’d think Obama could buy off one or two of them to lie for him like Kerry did when the truth was being told about his service by pretty much everybody he served with.
I’ve noted this for almost a week now. You’re right. If they had a peer vouching for him, he’d be a movie star by now.
Drudge has a link up saying Bergdahl is refusing to talk to his family. I guess his family aren’t full converts yet to Islame?
Sort of how nobody even remembers Obama in college and no records of him in Connecticut other than his social security card.
IMO after the cozy Rose Garden presser featuring Obama and Bergdahl’s mufti father, and the unexpectedly negative public response it received, the media is putting distance between The Won and the deserter.
Actual title “Bergdahl platoon medic says captured soldier deserted his post, ‘not a hero’”
I wonder how it got changed like that?
Seems to have worked fine for this other thread:

It’s all coincidence.
Oh, look! A squirrel!
Exchange of deserter Bergdahl with 5 worst of the worst was a great success for Obummer.....it has buried the front news about VA scandal.
This is so pathetic!
Why buy it when you get it for free from the MSM especially see the hit piece editorial that the NY Times did to try and discredit the ENTIRE platoon that the scum deserted from.

I know, now he will have to come up with a new scandal to bury this scandal LOL! I think he is releasing more Gitmo bugs so that should do it.

The NYT and Eric Schmitt are promoting: “the platoon suffered from lapses in discipline” in their attempt to apparently marginalize the platoon. Well, retired army specialist, Samuel Masamitsu, conveys a sharply contradictory impression of that platoon the Left is working hard to discredit.
